Back to Seremban

I went back to Seremban last weekend. Got called to attend a Masters Program interview in Hospital UKM. I applied to do specialisation in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Why HUKM? Hmmm I will tell you when we meet la.

Now that everyone can fly with AirAsia, I joined the crowd too to save some money.

Have you been to the new airport in Kota Kinabalu? The AirAsia Airport we call it. Ah ha, now you know there are two airports in KK. The airport was opened on New Year's day. Pretty impressive and spacious. Here are some photos.


Many flights delayed (a nicer word is "rescheduled"). Cheap fares, what do you expect la. Our pilot blamed it on the weather.

My main complaint is the lack of seats in the airport. As a result, many people had to park their butts on the metal rod on the ground. Ouch!


Here's me practising the art of sitting on the fence.


On interview day, I was surprised that the short-listed list was really short, almost equalling the intake numbers. Applicants for UM, UKM and USM all came to HUKM for centralised assessment. For O&G, we had to sit for a 30-questions multiple-choice-question test, followed by an short interview with lecturers from each univ. They asked about my experience, why I applied for the course, and the golden question "... as a future O&G specialist in Sabah, what are your plans for the state?" (can I say want to make more $$$ ah?)
"... you UM grad right? Why didn't you apply for UM? UM not good ar?!" (UKM overtook UM liao u dunno meh?)
"... why did you take MRCOG Part One?" (I got nothing better to do ma)
"... why should we take you?" (I got Part One ma)
"... cannot guarantee you will remain in Sabah u know, may have to send to other states if no vacancy... you willing ah?" (I can say don't want or not?)

Met with some old university friends in PJ, then spent two more days in Seremban before flying back to Sabah. Dad sent me to the airport.

Managed to get some books from Popular Bookstore and MPH in Seremban. Can't find them in KK la, hardly any respectable bookstore. Bought a few books written by Thomas Friedman and Robert Kiyosaki (google them la if you are curious).
